wow Debbie, just found this discussion ( not too much better than a cant put it down book!). I was also gonna suggest reccomend "running with scissors". I enjoy burroughs writing, his perspective is so uncommon yet somehow i think we can all relate on some level. Have you read "dry"?

It seems that it does take a long time for a reply grandma (your name still makes me smile!). I feel somewhat responsible for not keeping the discussion going. Maybe we should try to read the books mentioned by everyone & then chat about them? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Michy :) ~ Hunter S. Thompson was a great & unusual writer! Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas comes to mind although I've not read the book, but only saw the movie with Johnny Depp. I'll look for the one you mentioned thanks! And what a wonderful story A Streetcar Named Desire is! Again, I've never actually read it, but I could watch the movie many times & still find something interesting that I've missed.

Hello Janus :) ~ Both of the books you mentioned sound intriguing. I'll try to find them! Did you also see The Kite Runner the movie?
